Taking the mick behind your back while smiling to your face?I think thats whats called inscrutable orientals Target shooting?Loads of Ranges in Pinas,I am a member of one,Golds at Agdao in Davao,they also have the outdoor combat pistol and tactical weapons range out on diversion road I have a relative who owns a Korean language school,quite a decent sized one actually,so I know a bit about Koreans and their poor grasp of engwish I did a TEFL years ago when I had a month off,never used it except to teach somali and ethiopian refugees for a few weeks,still worthwhile doing it though
Thai tourism?Well,it brings the Thais in a massive amount of revenue,mind boggling so the Thais look after tourists,I have known a few people who visited both countries,Thailand and Pinas,they all to a man favour thailand even though some of their wives are pinay Philippines doesnt even try with tourists to be honest,they hype Boracay night and day and thats it,the rapidly fading jewel in the crown,and even Bora(I hate it when the TV calls it that because bora to me is always borabora)is a pale shadow of the Thai islands it trys to model itself on Kick out the pinoy tourist minister and put me in his place,I will turn it around

I don't find the backbiting so bad in the Phils it happens and I understand enough of the language to tell sometimes but the Koreans seemed more blatant about it and more likely to be enjoying their deception

Boracay is tiny and you're right it's rapidly fading :( lovely but very flawed now :(



Surely though there are a lot of unspoiled places in the Phils > 7000 island after all?

I've been to Cebu and been a good few places in Luzon but I do need to see a lot more.

Always wanted to see Palawan, is that not a much more unspoiled place?

I better add if you want to see an incredible part of pinas,totally different type of people and lifestyle,no pollution and a really relaxed laid-back lifestyle then go down to sulu and Jolo(when the conflict has ended)

Yeah Ana would not let me go there just now maybe when I retire in 10 years time
